Description

Our bulbs, or "pups", of this Japan native are locally grown in San Diego. Sago palms (technically a Cycad) are non-flowering ornamental plants characterized by their palm-like, stiff evergreen palmate leaves atop a shaggy brown trunk. The Sago is very slow-growing and can take 50 years or more to reach mature size, however they are incredibly long-lived plants. Male plants produce a gymnosperm cone if pollinated with a nearby female. Botanically, this plant is closer to a conifer than to true palms!

They're low maintenance and prefer a bit of afternoon shade. Regular watering with well-draining sandy-peat soil is needed. Plants are reliably winter hardy in zones 9 and above. Well-established plants can be somewhat drought-tolerant.

Colder climate gardeners can grow Cycas revoluta in containers, moving them inside for the colder winter months. They can also be grown as a houseplant.

Note: Keep plants away from pets.
